The Billboard Top 50 global singles from the first half of 2024 have an average loudness of -8.3 LUFS
So that’s how loud we should be making our masters, right ?
Well…
It certainly might seem that way, but in reality it’s a bit more complicated than that. This is only one of the interesting results that Ian Stewart presented in his latest blog post for iZoTope, and in this episode I asked him back on to really dig into some of the details and nuance.
Plus I also wanted to talk to him about the amazing plug-in that got invented during the last episode he was on ! (Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😛)
During the show we talk about:
* What that -8 LUFS average result REALLY means, and how much attention you should pay to it
* Who the most successful artist in the Top 50 is, and the loudness statistics of their music
* The problem with the title iZotope chose for the post
* All the other results, trends and biases in the data
* Basslane Pro, the plug-in Ian worked with Tone Projects to develop, why it’s unique - and how The Mastering Show helped it happen !
